From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are ~~begging~~ beginning to work on Wayland support.

Yeah, as mentioned earlier: that is an application that directly works with X to interact with the mouse cursor. It needs to be updated or rewritten. No alternative to that, I'm afraid.

@[email protected] commented that the Input Leap Project (a fork from Barrier from the active developers) already supports Wayland (I still need to mess with it). And Synergy (I think) uses Barrier, or it's a Barrier fork also. So I will need to switch to Input Leap if I want to use it right now with Wayland! 🙂
